At the most important stage of the game when the four of us are all pushing top as team, he goes to rosh alone as silencer! He continues roshing alone while we team fight! After losing almost all his hp to rosh, he comes and of course he dies with a few hits.

It's curious because Trader started complaining that I'm on his team, trying to distract team's attention with nonsensical talks about how I didn't do a slow etc. when it was on CD for example. Died once with no reaction at all then saying:

(22:33 / Allied) kobz: -afk
(22:34 / Allied) TRADER: afk sorry
(22:44 / Allied) kobz: hard to say afk or normal play

-afk returned "No one is afk"

First off, let me point out that after reviewing the gameplay, it’s clear that Kobz and Trader spend a significant portion of the match trash-talking each other. Rather than using the !ignore command, this turned into another case where emotions got in the way of clarity and judgment.

Throughout the entire game, I couldn’t find solid evidence that Trader was intentionally trying to ruin the match or throw it. Were some of his decisions questionable or inefficient? Absolutely.. like the instance you mentioned where he went to roshan alone. That move was pointless, and he would’ve contributed more by joining the team fight at top. Still, that doesn’t meet the threshold for a ban based on game-ruining behavior.

Believe me, I’m not particularly a fan of this player (Trader) either but we need to set emotions aside. It was a tough match, and in the end, your team pulled through thanks to solid teamwork.
